Learn how to test & monitor production machine learning models. You've taken your model from a Jupyter notebook and rewritten it in your production system. Are you sure there weren't any mistakes when you moved from the research environment to the production system? How can you control the risk before your deployment? ML-specific unit, integration and differential tests can help you to minimize the risk.

Christopher Samiullah, Soledad Galli: Testing and Validating Machine Learning Models when Deploying to Production PyData London 2019 Slides - https://www.slideshare.net/solegalli2... Through model deployment, we bridge the gap between the research environment and live systems. Reproducibility between environments is key to maximise the researched value the ML models will bring to an organisation. Therefore, before the models are fully integrated and live, we run thorough testing and reconciliation processes. PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other.

The deployment of machine learning models is the process for making your models available in production environments, where they can provide predictions to other software systems. It is only once models are deployed to production that they start adding value, making deployment a crucial step. However, there is complexity in the deployment of machine learning models. This post aims to at the very least make you aware of where this complexity comes from, and I'm also hoping it will provide you with useful tools and heuristics to combat this complexity. If it's code, step-by-step tutorials and example projects you are looking for, you might be interested in the Udemy Course "Deployment of Machine Learning Models".
